Matthew Stafford is ‘the name to watch’ for Raiders, in part thanks to Tom Brady

February 23, 2025 by Rams Wire

The Las Vegas Raiders need a quarterback as badly as any team in the NFL. They’re desperate to find a franchise signal caller, especially with Pete Carroll taking over as the head coach.

They’ll be in the market for a quarterback this offseason, whether during the draft or in free agency – or even via trade. According to The Athletic, Matthew Stafford is “the name to watch” if the Rams end up trading him, putting them among the teams that could be vying for the veteran quarterback this offseason.

Of course, the Raiders will only have a shot to land Stafford if the Rams can’t sign him to an extension, but it sounds like they’d be interested if it comes to that.

Furthermore, with Tom Brady as a part owner of the franchise, his influence could help lure talent to Las Vegas. According to Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, “the persuasiveness of Tom Brady as a recruiter for the Raiders” is something to keep an eye on.

“It’s why you can’t rule out Matthew Stafford as an option,” he wrote.

Something to keep an eye on, per sources: the persuasiveness of Tom Brady as a recruiter for the @Raiders. It will make things interesting during free agency. And maybe even in the trade market. It’s why you can’t rule out Matthew Stafford as an option.

Bonsignore also reported that the compensation in any trade for Stafford will be affected by how much money the acquiring team is going to pay Stafford. The Rams reportedly want at least a first-round pick, but interested teams will “try to keep it to” a second-rounder and maybe more.

Per source: Compensation will be affected by the amount of $ new team is giving on a new contract. But @RamsNFL would want 1+

Interested teams would try to keep it to 2+ https://t.co/dl5LEhc9Ix

The Raiders can now be considered one of the many teams that may be interested in Stafford if the Rams move their quarterback, along with the Giants and Steelers – two other teams that have been floated as potential landing spots.

None of this matters if the Rams sign him to a new contract, but that’s not guaranteed to happen.
